Red Curb at Crosswalks - Assembly Bill No. 413

Parked cars can hinder the view of drivers as they approach a crosswalk making it more likely for pedestrians to be involved in an incident.  If cars had a better view of the crosswalk, it would decrease the number of collisions. Assembly Bill No. 413 was created to address this issue.

What this new law does:

• This bill prohibits the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any unmarked or marked crosswalk or 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension (bulb-out) is present, as specified.
• The law is enforceable regardless of whether the crosswalk is marked or curb is painted red; in its initial stage of implementation, Foster City officers are focused on education rather than enforcement. 
• For additional details, please see this educational flyer the City has produced.
